The Company’s principal executive office is located at 6181 Cornerstone Court E Suite 114, San Diego, CA 92121.

Sapphire’s operations are located in the Greater San Diego Area.

Company Developments – Divesture of Cannabis Related Assets

On May 6, 2020 (the “Effective Date”), AXIM Biotechnologies, Inc., a Nevada corporation (the “Company”), entered into an Agreement (the “Separation Agreement”) by and among the Company, CanChew License Company (“CanCo”), CanChew Biotechnologies, LLC (“CanChew”), Medical Marijuana, Inc., Dr. George A. Anastassov (“Dr. Anastassov”), Dr. Philip A. Van Damme (“Dr. Van Damme”), Lekhram Changoer (“Mr. Changoer”), Sanammad Foundation, Netherlands and Sanammad Foundation, US (collectively, the “Sanammad Parties”), pursuant to which, among other matters as described herein, Drs. Anastassov and Van Damme and Mr. Changoer resigned as members of the Company’s Board of Directors.

Pursuant to the Separation Agreement, the Company transferred and assigned to an entity designated by Dr. Anastassov all of the Company’s cannabis-related intellectual property other than the inventions and discoveries described in that certain cannabis-related patent application filed by the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary, Sapphire Biotech, Inc. (water-soluble cannabinoid molecules). The Company also transferred 100% of its interest in CanCo and CanChew to an entity designated by Dr. Anastassov. In consideration for the transfers set forth above, any and all indebtedness owed by the Company to CanChew, totaling approximately $2.61 million, was satisfied and paid in its entirety.

In addition, in consideration for the payment by the Company of $65,000, the Company purchased 100% of the issued and outstanding shares of Series B Preferred Stock held by the Sanammad Parties. Such shares shall be retired to treasury of the Company. The Sanammad Parties also agreed to forfeit and assign back to treasury, for no consideration, a total of 18,570,356 shares of the Company’s common stock.

NOTE 2: ACQUISITION OF SAPPHIRE BIOTECH, INC.

On March 17, 2020, the Company entered into a Share Exchange Agreement (“Agreement”) with Sapphire Biotech, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Sapphire”) and all the Sapphire stockholders (collectively, the “Sapphire Stockholders”). Following the closing of the transaction, Sapphire will become a wholly owned subsidiary of AXIM.

Under the terms of the Agreement, the Company: (i) acquired 100% of Sapphire’s outstanding capital (consisting of 100,000,000 shares of common stock and zero (0) shares of Preferred Stock); and (ii) assume all of the outstanding debt of Sapphire. The outstanding debt includes two (2) convertible notes in the principal amounts of $310,000 and $190,000. Pursuant to the terms of the Share Exchange Agreement, the Company acquired 100% of the issued and outstanding shares of Sapphire by means of a share exchange with the Sapphire Stockholders in exchange for 54,000,000 newly issued shares of the common stock of AXIM (the “Share Exchange”). As a result of the Share Exchange, Sapphire became a 100% owned subsidiary of AXIM, which on a going forward basis will result in consolidated financial reporting by AXIM to include the results of Sapphire. The closing of the Share Exchange occurred concurrently with entry into the Share Exchange Agreement (the “Closing”).

In March 2020, the Company acquired SAPPHIRE BIOTECH, Inc., a biotechnology company focusing on improving cancer care through the development of proprietary therapeutics for inhibiting cancer growth and metastasis. The Company issued 54,000,000 shares of common stock with a total fair value of $7,506,000 and assumed net liabilities of $412,233 (resulting in a total acquisition cost of $7,918,233), in exchange for all outstanding shares of SAPPHIRE BIOTECH, Inc. The Company accounted for the acquisition using the acquisition method of accounting for business combinations. On the acquisition date, the Company performed a preliminary allocation of the purchase price to include the tangible assets acquired and the liabilities assumed with the remainder of the purchase price allocated to patents pending approval, in-process research and development (IPR&D) and goodwill. The Company incurred $6,000 of acquisition-related costs, which will be recorded as expense after the evaluation work been completed. In addition, the Company recorded an estimated deferred tax liability on the assets acquired, except for goodwill for which deferred taxes are not applicable.

The Company completed the valuation of the intangible assets acquired in the SAPPHIRE BIOTECH, Inc. transaction by September 2020. Pursuant to the valuation, the Company determined that the patents continue to be expanded and chose to subsume the patents within the IPR&D balance. In management’s judgment, the amount assigned to IPR&D represents the amount the Company would reasonably expect to pay an unrelated party for each project included in the technology. Based on the final valuation, the remaining excess purchase price has been allocated to goodwill.

The aggregate purchase price of $7,918,233 consisted of common stock valued at $7,506,000 and the net liabilities assumed of $412,233. The value of the $7,506,000 of common shares issued was determined based on the closing price of the Company’s common shares at the acquisition date.

The following table summarizes the consideration paid for SAPPHIRE BIOTECH and the estimated amounts of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed recognized at the acquisition date.

Schedule of consideration paid
Consideration:
Cash and cash equivalents	$	79,814
Property and equipment, net		20,533
In process Research & Development (IPRD)		7,800,000
Goodwill		2,458,233
Security deposit		12,785
Total asset acquired	$	10,371,365

Accrued expenses and other current liabilities	$	5,767
Deferred taxes liability		2,340,000
Notes Payable including convertible and discount on conversion		519,598
Total liabilities assumed	$	2,865,365
Net assets acquired	$	7,506,000

The fair value of acquired IPR&D was determined using the income approach, based on the likelihood of success of products reaching final development and commercialization. The fair value of acquired IPR&D was capitalized as of the Closing Date and is subsequently accounted for as an indefinite-lived intangible asset until completion or abandonment of the associated research and development efforts. Accordingly, during the development period after the Closing Date, this asset will be amortized over a period of 36 months.

The acquired in process Research and development as it relates to rapid COVID testing has reached the commercialization stage and is awaiting FDA EUA.

The $2,458,233 of goodwill is not expected to be deductible for tax purposes.

The effective settlement of receivable/payable between the Company and Sapphire deemed to be not material, which was recorded as gain on intercompany transaction in P&L.

NOTE 3: BASIS OF PRESENTATION:

The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of AXIM Biotechnologies, Inc. (formerly Axim International, Inc.) as of June 30, 2021, and for the three months period ended June 30, 2021 and 2020 have been prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles (“US GAAP”).

The following (a) balance sheets as of June 30, 2021 (unaudited) and December 31, 2020, which have been derived from audited financial statements, and (b) the unaudited interim statements of operations and cash flows of AXIM Biotechnologies, Inc. (the “Company”) have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and the instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule 8-03 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 are not necessarily indicative of results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2021. These unaudited financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2020 included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on April 26, 2021.

Principles of Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Axim Biotechnologies, Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiaries Axim Holdings, Inc., Marina Street LLC, Axim Biotechnologies (the Netherland Company) and Sapphire Biotech, Inc. The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All significant inter-company balances and transactions have been eliminated upon consolidation.

NOTE 4:GOING CONCERN

The Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements have been presented assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. The Company has incurred significant losses and negative cash flows from operations in all periods since inception and had an accumulated deficit as of June 30, 2021. The Company has historically financed its operations primarily through the sale of common stock, promissory notes and convertible notes. To date, none of the Company’s products related to continuing operations are still in the product development phase. Management expects operating losses to continue and increase for the foreseeable future, as the Company progresses into clinical development activities for its lead product candidates. The Company’s prospects are subject to risks, expenses and uncertainties frequently encountered by companies in the biotechnology industry. As shown in the condensed consolidated financial statements, the Company has deficit in working capital of $952,445 and has an accumulated deficit of $46,541,382 and has cash used in operating activities of continuing operations $1,156,360 and discontinued operations of $4,633. The Company intends to raise substantial additional capital through private placements of debt and equity securities, but there can be no assurance that these funds will be available on terms acceptable to the Company or will be sufficient to enable the Company to fully complete its development activities or sustain operations. If the Company is unable to raise sufficient additional funds, it will have to develop and implement a plan to further extend payables, reduce overhead, or scale back its current business plan until sufficient additional capital is raised to support further operations. There can be no assurance that such a plan will be successful. That will raise a doubt about the ability of the Company to continue as a going concern. The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments related to the recoverability of assets and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue in operation.

NOTE 5: SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Use of estimates

The preparation of the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements as well as the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during reporting periods. Actual results could differ from these estimates. Significant estimates are assumptions about collection of accounts receivable, intangible assets, useful life of intangible assets, determination of the discount rate for operating leases and assumptions used in Black-Scholes-Merton, or BSM, valuation methods, such as expected volatility, risk-free interest rate and expected dividend rate.

Risks and uncertainties

The Company operates in a dynamic and highly competitive industry and is subject to risks and uncertainties common to early-stage companies in the biotechnology industry, including, but not limited to, development by competitors of new technological innovations, protection of proprietary technology, dependence on key personnel, contract manufacturer and contract research organizations, compliance with government regulations and the need to obtain additional financing to fund operations. Product candidates currently under development will require significant additional research and development efforts, including extensive preclinical studies and clinical trials and regulatory approval, prior to commercialization. These efforts require significant amounts of additional capital, adequate personnel infrastructure and extensive compliance and reporting. The Company believes that changes in any of the following areas could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s future financial position, results of operations, or cash flows; ability to obtain future financing; advances and trends in new technologies and industry standards; results of clinical trials; regulatory approval and market acceptance of the Company’s products; development of sales channels; certain strategic relationships; litigation or claims against the Company based on intellectual property, patent, product, regulatory, or other factors; and the Company’s ability to attract and retain employees necessary to support its growth.

Products developed by the Company require approvals from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) or other international regulatory agencies prior to commercial sales. There can be no assurance that the Company’s research and development will be successfully completed, that adequate protection for the Company’s intellectual property will be obtained or maintained, that the products will receive the necessary approvals, or that any approved products will be commercially viable. If the Company was denied approval, approval was delayed or the Company was unable to maintain approval, it could have a materially adverse impact on the Company. Even if the Company’s product development efforts are successful, it is uncertain when, if ever, the Company will generate revenue from product sales. The Company operates in an environment of rapid change in technology and substantial competition from other pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies. In addition, the Company is dependent upon the services of its employees, consultants and other third parties.

Beginning in late 2019, the outbreak of a novel strain of virus named SARS-CoV-2 (severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2), or coronavirus, which causes coronavirus disease 2019, or COVID-19, has evolved into a global pandemic. The extent of the impact of the coronavirus outbreak on the Company’s business will depend on certain developments, including the duration and spread of the outbreak and the extent and severity of the impact on the Company’s clinical trial activities, research activities and suppliers, all of which are uncertain and cannot be predicted. At this point, the extent to which the coronavirus outbreak may materially impact the Company’s financial condition, liquidity or results of operations is uncertain. The Company has expended and will continue to expend substantial funds to complete the research, development and clinical testing of product candidates. The Company also will be required to expend additional funds to establish commercial-scale manufacturing arrangements and to provide for the marketing and distribution of products that receive regulatory approval. The Company may require additional funds to commercialize its products. The Company is unable to entirely fund these efforts with its current financial resources. If adequate funds are unavailable on a timely basis from operations or additional sources of financing, the Company may have to delay, reduce the scope of or eliminate one or more of its research or development programs which would materially and adversely affect its business, financial condition and operations.

There have been no material changes in the accounting policies from those disclosed in the financial statements and the related notes included in the Form 10-K.

Cash equivalents

The Company considers all highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less at the time of purchase to be cash equivalents. As of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the Company had no cash equivalents. Cash and cash equivalents are maintained at financial institutions and, at times, balances may exceed federally insured limits. The Company had no uninsured balances at June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020. The Company has never experienced any losses related to these balances.

Accounts Receivable

It is the Company’s policy to review accounts receivable at least on monthly basis for conductibility and follow up with customers accordingly. Covid19 has slowed collection as our customers are in a mandated pause. The Company have geographic concentration of customers for the three months ending June 30, 2021 and 2020.

Concentrations

On June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, one customer accounted for 100% of accounts receivable. For the six months period ended June 30, 2021, one customer accounted for 100% of total revenue. For the six months period ended June 30, 2020, one customer accounted for 4% of total revenue. Accounts receivable and revenue were all generated from continuing operations for the six months ending June 30, 2021.

Inventory

Inventory consists of raw materials owned by the Company and are stated at the lower of cost or market. As of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the Company had $20,509 and $-0-; —respectively.

Property and equipment

Property and equipment are carried at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is computed using straight-line method over the estimated useful life. New assets and expenditures that extend the useful life of property or equipment are capitalized and depreciated. Expenditures for ordinary repairs and maintenance are charged to operations as incurred. The Company’s property and equipment relating to continuing operations consisted of the following on June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively, and none related to discontinued operations.


	June 30,		December 31,
	2021		2020
Equipment of continuing operations	$	154,809	$	134,788
Less: accumulated depreciation	$	43,877	$	30,694
Property, Plant and Equipment, Net	$	110,932	$	104,094

For the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, the Company recognized depreciation expense of $13,184 and $5,124, respectively.

In-Process Research and Development (IPR&D)

The fair value of IPR&D acquired through a business combination is capitalized as an indefinite-lived intangible asset until the completion or abandonment of the related research and development activities. When the related research and development is completed, the asset will be assigned a useful life and amortized.

The fair value of an IPR&D intangible asset is determined using an income approach. This approach starts with a forecast of the net cash flows expected to be generated by the asset over its estimated useful life. The net cash flows reflect the asset’s stage of completion, the probability of technical success, the projected costs to complete, expected market competition, and an assessment of the asset’s life-cycle. The net cash flows are then adjusted to present value by applying an appropriate discount rate that reflects the risk factors associated with the cash flow streams.

The development of IPR&D reached completion in April 2021.

Goodwill

Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price of acquired businesses over the estimated fair value of the identifiable net assets acquired. Goodwill is not amortized but is tested for impairment at least annually at the reporting unit level or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the asset might be impaired.

Goodwill is tested for impairment annually or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances between annual tests indicate that the asset may be impaired. Impairment loss is recognized based on a comparison of the fair value of the asset to its carrying value, without consideration of any recoverability.

Intangible Assets

As required by generally accepted accounting principles, trademarks and patents are amortized if they have a definite life, the amortization is estimated in straight line through three years starting in April 2021. The Company’s intangible assets relating to continuing operations and discontinued operations consisted of the following on June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively.

Schedule of intangible assets
	June 30,		December 31,
	2021		2020
Goodwill	$	2,458,233	$	2,458,233
Research in progress	$	7,800,000	$	7,800,000
Finite-Lived Intangible Assets, Gross	$	10,258,233	$	10,258,233

Less: accumulated amortization	$	641,096	$	—
Intangible Assets, Net (Including Goodwill)	$	9,617,137	$	—

Estimated aggregate amortization expense for each of the three succeeding years ending December 31 is as follows:


	2021		2022		2023		2024
Amortization expense	$	1,951,779	$	2,600,000	$	2,600,000	$	648,221

Revenue Recognition

The Company follows the guidance contained in Topic 606 (FASB ASC 606). The core principle of Topic 606 (FASB ASC 606) is that an entity should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of goods of services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The revenue recognition guidance contained in Topic 606, to follow the five-step revenue recognition model along with other guidance impacted by this standard: (1) identify the contract with the customer; (2) identify the performance obligations in the contract; (3) determine the transportation price; (4) allocate the transportation price; (5) recognize revenue when or as the entity satisfies a performance obligation. All revenue was from operations that were divested.

Revenues are recognized when title for goods is transferred; non-refundable fees and proceeds from irrevocable agreements recognized when inflows or other enhancements of assets of the Company are received.

Revenues from continuing operations recognized for three and six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020 amounted to $14,875, $47,524, $0 and $-0-, respectively. Revenues from discontinued operations recognized for three and six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020 amounted to $-0-, $-0-, and $7,990, $15,130,respectively.

Grant Income

In 2021 the Company has received government grants to drive its research and development efforts. Through these government grants, the government has provided funding for the Company to perform research and development activities which will assist in developing its products. The Company believes the government entities funding these grants are interested in the Company advancing its underlying technologies through research activities and not providing incentives for hiring employees or building facilities that would suggest that the grant monies are not for specific research activities.

In determining how to classify the monies received under government grants, the Company acknowledges that there is no specific guidance under US GAAP and that the FASB and AICPA have often drawn upon the guidance in IAS 20 for classification. In considering the alternatives provided by IAS 20 for the presentation of these grants in the Company’s financial statements, the Company believes that recognizing the government grant proceeds as a component of other revenue is a better reflection of the economics of the arrangements as the Company earns the funding through the performance of research and development which is not one of the Company’s primary business activities or central to its operations. The Company believes that presenting research and development funding from government grants, as other revenue provides consistency in our financial reporting. The Company also believes that this presentation clearly presents to users of its financial statements in one line the Company’s sources of funding from these grants. The Company notes that there are no contingencies associated with the receipt of or ability to retain the funds under the grant, other than undertaking and performing the related research and development activities.

The Company recognizes funds received from contractual research and development services and from government grants as other revenue. These contracts and grants are not considered an ongoing major and central operation of the Company’s business. Our Income from Grants from Government for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020 was $129,995, $219,995 and $-0-, $-0- respectively.

Cost of Sales

Cost of sales includes the purchase cost of products sold and all costs associated with getting the products to the customers including buying and transportation costs. Cost of sales all related to discontinued operations.

Shipping Costs

Shipping and handling costs billed to customers are recorded in sales. Shipping costs incurred by the company are recorded in general and administrative expenses. Shipping costs all related to discontinued operations.

Fair Value Measurements

The Company applies the guidance that is codified under ASC 820-10 related to assets and liabilities recognized or disclosed in the financial statements at fair value on a recurring basis. ASC 820-10 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosures about fair value measurements.

Convertible Instruments

The Company evaluates and accounts for conversion options embedded in its convertible instruments in accordance with professional standards for “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities.”

Professional standards generally provide three criteria that, if met, require companies to bifurcate conversion options from their host instruments and account for them as free-standing derivative financial instruments. These three criteria include circumstances in which (a) the economic characteristics and risks of the embedded derivative instruments are not clearly and closely related to the economic characteristics and risks of the host contract, (b) the hybrid instrument that embodies both the embedded derivative instrument and the host contract is not re-measured at fair value under otherwise applicable generally accepted accounting principles with changes in fair value reported in earnings as they occur and (c) a separate instrument with the same terms as the embedded derivative instrument would be considered a derivative instrument. Professional standards also provide an exception to this rule when the host instrument is deemed to be conventional as defined under professional standards as “The Meaning of “Conventional Convertible Debt Instrument.”

The Company accounts for convertible instruments (when it has determined that the embedded conversion options should not be bifurcated from their host instruments) in accordance with professional standards when “Accounting for Convertible Securities with Beneficial Conversion Features,” as those professional standards pertain to “Certain Convertible Instruments.” Accordingly, the Company records, when necessary, discounts to convertible notes for the intrinsic value of conversion options embedded in debt instruments based upon the differences between the fair value of the underlying common stock at the commitment date of the note transaction and the effective conversion price embedded in the note. Debt discounts under these arrangements are amortized over the term of the related debt to their earliest date of redemption. The Company also records when necessary deemed dividends for the intrinsic value of conversion options embedded in preferred shares based upon the differences between the fair value of the underlying common stock at the commitment date of the note transaction and the effective conversion price embedded in the note.

ASC 815-40 provides that, among other things, generally, if an event is not within the entity’s control could or require net cash settlement, then the contract shall be classified as an asset or a liability.

Income Taxes

The Company follows Section 740-10, Income tax (“ASC 740-10”) Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification, which requires recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been included in the financial statements or tax returns. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are based on the differences between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance to the extent management concludes it is more likely than not that the assets will not be realized. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in the Statements of Operations in the period that includes the enactment date.

The Company recognizes deferred tax assets to the extent that the Company believes that these assets are more likely than not to be realized. In making such a determination, the Company considers all available positive and negative evidence, including reversals of any existing taxable temporary differences, projected future taxable income, tax planning strategies, and the results of recent operations. If the Company determines that it would be able to realize a deferred tax asset in the future in excess of any recorded amount, the Company would make an adjustment to the deferred tax asset valuation allowance, which would reduce the provision for income taxes.

The Company adopted section 740-10-25 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification (“Section 740-10-25”). Section 740-10-25 addresses the determination of whether tax benefits claimed or expected to be claimed on a tax return should be recorded in the financial statements. Under Section 740-10-25, the Company may recognize the tax benefit from an uncertain tax position only if it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained on examination by the taxing authorities, based on the technical merits of the position. The tax benefits recognized in the financial statements from such a position should be measured based on the largest benefit that has a greater than fifty percent (50%) likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement. Section 740-10-25 also provides guidance on de-recognition, classification, interest and penalties on income taxes, accounting in interim periods and requires increased disclosures. The Company had no liabilities for unrecognized income tax benefits according to the provisions of Section 740-10-25.

Concentrations of Credit Risk

Financial instruments and related items, which potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk, consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents. The Company places its cash and temporary cash investments with credit quality institutions. At times, such amounts may be in excess of the FDIC insurance limit.

Net Loss per Common Share

Net loss per common share is computed pursuant to section 260-10-45 Earnings Per Share (“ASC 260-10”) of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification. Basic net loss per share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted net loss per share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding and the member potentially outstanding during each period. In periods when a net loss is experienced, only basic net loss per share is calculated because to do otherwise would be anti-dilutive.

There were 30,335,782 common share equivalents at June 30, 2021 and 32,556,727 common shares at December 31, 2020. For the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020 these potential shares were excluded from the shares used to calculate diluted earnings per share as their inclusion would reduce net loss per share.

Stock Based Compensation

All stock-based payments to employees and to nonemployee directors for their services as directors, including any grants of restricted stock and stock options, are measured at fair value on the grant date and recognized in the statements of operations as compensation or other expense over the relevant service period. Stock-based payments to nonemployees are recognized as an expense over the period of performance. Such payments are measured at fair value at the earlier of the date a performance commitment is reached, or the date performance is completed. In addition, for awards that vest immediately and are non-forfeitable the measurement date is the date the award is issued. The Company accounts for stock options issued to non-employees based on the estimated fair value of the awards using the Black-Scholes option pricing model in accordance with ASC 505-50, Equity-Based Payment to Non-employees. Stock-based compensation expense related to stock options granted to non-employees is recognized as the stock options vest. The Company believes that the fair value of the stock options is more reliably measurable than the fair value of the services received. Stock options granted to non-employees are recorded at their fair value on the measurement date and are subject to periodic adjustments as such options vest and at the end of each reporting period, and the resulting change in value, if any, is recognized in the Company’s statements of operations and comprehensive loss during the period the related services are rendered.

Cost of Sales

Cost of sales includes the purchase cost of products sold and all costs associated with getting the products to the customers including buying and transportation costs.

Research and Development

The Company accounts for research and development costs in accordance with the Accounting Standards Codification subtopic 730-10, Research and Development (“ASC 730-10”). Under ASC 730-10, all research and development costs must be charged to expense as incurred. Accordingly, internal research and development costs are expensed as incurred. Third-party research and development costs are expensed when the contracted work has been performed or as milestone results have been achieved. Company-sponsored research and development costs related to both present and future products are expensed in the period incurred. For the three and six months ended June 31, 2021 and 2020 the Company incurred research and development expenses of $48,066, $149,019 and $121,437, $126,292 from continuing operations, respectively. For the three months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020 the Company incurred research and development expenses of $-0-, $-0- and $-0-, $-0- from discontinued operations, respectively. The Company has entered into various agreements with CROs. The Company’s research and development accruals are estimated based on the level of services performed, progress of the studies, including the phase or completion of events, and contracted costs. The estimated costs of research and development provided, but not yet invoiced, are included in accrued liabilities on the balance sheet. If the actual timing of the performance of services or the level of effort varies from the original estimates, the Company will adjust the accrual accordingly. Payments made to CROs under these arrangements in advance of the performance of the related services are recorded as prepaid expenses and other current assets until the services are rendered.

Current Operations Following the Acquisition of Sapphire Biotech, Inc.

Oncology

We continue to advance our mission of improving global cancer care through the development of novel therapeutics for controlling metastatic cancer spread, and diagnostics for early cancer detection, response to treatment, and for monitoring post-treatment recurrence. We have made significant progress with the development of additional anologs of SBI-183 licensed from Mayo Clinic and Arizona State University.

We have been investigating the enzyme Quiescin Sulfhydryl Oxidase 1 (QSOX1), a master regulator of extracellular matrix remodeling, and its overexpression by tumor cells. Overexpression of QSOX1 has been unambiguously linked to promoting tumor invasion and metastasis. One of the Company’s co-founders, Dr. Douglas Lake, has discovered that a small molecule SBI-183 inhibited the enzymatic activity of QSOX1 and as a result suppressed tumor cell invasion in vitro and metastasis of breast tumor cells in vivo. Through its medicinal chemistry efforts the Company synthesized multiple structural analogs of SBI-183 and unveiled SPX-1009 lead compound that demonstrated ten-fold improvement in suppressing invasion and metastasis in several cancer models.

The Company believes that its therapeutic drug development strategy targeting the metastatic spread is a unique, novel and pioneering approach to saving lives. The near-term objective of the Company is to demonstrate the ability of its lead anti-QSOX1 drug candidates to suppress tumor growth and metastasis and to advance them into pre-clinical studies.

Additionally, the Company believes that QSOX1 has a significant potential to be developed into an important biomarker for liquid biopsy cancer test. The Company anticipates that ongoing diagnostic product development in 2020 will result in a commercial prototype in early 2021 of a universal companion diagnostic to measure the efficacy of any ongoing cancer treatments based on measuring QSOX1 levels. Ultimately, the Company aims to develop a blood test that makes possible the early detection of cancer.

Covid-19

With the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, we began creating COVID-19 rapid diagnostic tools, including multiple first-in-class COVID-19 neutralizing antibody tests and other innovations. AXIM’s rapid diagnostic test for detecting neutralizing antibodies is the first of its kind. The test has the ability to deliver results in under 10 minutes and can detect the level of neutralizing antibodies an individual has. We have designed this test to be used at point-of-care facilities to measure levels of neutralizing antibodies in convalescent plasma so that plasma with the highest levels of neutralizing antibodies can be identified and administered to patients fighting COVID-19. Without this knowledge, many patients could be undertreated with non-neutralizing plasma and may not benefit from this treatment. Another application of our point-of-care test is to help ensure that vaccines and monoclonal antibody drugs elicit high levels of neutralizing antibodies. When a vaccine is available, manufacturers can employ AXIM’s rapid point-of-care test to evaluate protective immune responses in vaccine recipients.

Our high throughput rapid neutralizing antibody test, NeuCovix-HT™, was designed to solve a major issue that COVID-19 researchers are currently facing. NeuCovix-HT™ solves the problem of vaccine and monoclonal antibody drug manufacturers’ requirement in Phase 3 clinical trials to measure neutralizing antibody levels longitudinally in large groups of volunteer recipients using expensive and laborious virus-based assays. Clinical centers participating in the vaccine trials could employ NeuCovix-HT™ tests to measure neutralizing antibodies from vaccine recipients in thousands of plasma samples per day and be able to test all recipient’s multiple times.

As more of the population recovers from COVID-19, we believe NeuCovix-HT™ will benefit clinical laboratories running batches of thousands of tests per week to measure levels of neutralizing antibodies in COVID-19 convalescent plasma. NeuCovix-HT™ distinguishes which convalescent plasmas contain low and high levels of neutralizing antibodies so that patients fighting COVID-19 can be treated with plasma from donors with the highest levels of neutralizing antibodies. We are in the process of sourcing materials and optimizing the test and expect to finish in the first quarter of 2021.

As our scientific team was hard at work developing our COVID-19 rapid diagnostic tests and virus-capturing face mask, we were frustrated by the delays and costs caused by lack of supply of a recombinant virus binding protein (VBP) for SARS-CoV-2 that was essential to our testing. To continue our projects as planned and decrease overall costs, AXIM’s talented team decided to make its own VBP that is even more potent than current outsourced options. AXIM’s laboratory tests have proven the RBD spike protein binds with our novel VBP. Initial tests also show that our novel VBP is approximately 10 times more potent and stable than current VBP options on the market. This now in-house development of the core ingredients needed to manufacture strips and masks could potentially derive additional revenue and allows us to control our supply chain. We have already manufactured enough VBP for millions of rapid diagnostic tests.

In August, we signed an exclusive licensing, manufacturing and distribution agreement with Empowered Diagnostics LLC to execute the high volume production of our rapid point-of-care diagnostic test. AXIM and Empowered have completed the technology transfer and Empowered Diagnostics has built out their production facility to be able to manufacture millions of our tests per month. As what we believe to be the last step for the EUA application already filed with the FDA for our plasma test we will be conducting a live virus comparison study on 30 plasma samples at a Biosafety Level 3 (BSL3) laboratory. As soon as this comparison study is finished, we will amend the EUA and we expect to begin sales and manufacturing immediately and we expect to see significant revenue shortly thereafter.

We have also received Institutional Review Board approval to begin a clinical study at Arizona State University with our point-of-care whole blood test as the last step in what will be another EUA application. We hope to be the first FDA-approved rapid point-of-care test for neutralizing antibodies.

Intellectual Property

I. QSOX1-RELATED INVENTIONS.

QSOX1 (Quiescin Sulfhydryl Oxidase 1) is an enzyme that is over-expressed in multiple tumor types. Genetically silencing QSOX1 in tumors slows their growth, migration, invasion and metastasis. Based on these findings, the inventors of the inventions described below tested libraries of chemical compounds for the ability to inhibit QSOX1. Several inhibitors of the QSOX1 enzyme were identified. Initially, SBI-183 was identified and animal studies confirmed its ability to suppress tumor growth. The inventors subsequently developed an entire library of analogs of the parent compound, SBI-183, detailed in several inventions below to identify compounds with greater inhibitory activity. These compounds have the potential to be developed into therapeutic treatments for metastasis and to be used in conjunction with other neoplastic treatments, such as chemotherapy.

Included in the group of QSOX1-related inventions below is the identification of a specific splice variant of QSOX1, identified as QSOX1-L, as a unique Biomarker for the detection of certain tumors overexpressing QSOX1. This biomarker formed the basis for the invention relating to a Rapid Diagnostic Test for certain cancers.

Trade Secrets

We rely, in some circumstances, on trade secrets to protect our technology. However, trade secrets can be difficult to protect. We seek to protect our proprietary technology and processes, in part, by entering into confidentiality agreements with our employees, consultants, scientific advisors and contractors. We also seek to preserve the integrity and confidentiality of our data and trade secrets by maintaining physical security of our premises and physical and electronic security of our information technology systems. While we have confidence in these procedures, agreements or security measures may be breached, and we may not have adequate remedies for any breach. In addition, our trade secrets may otherwise become known or be independently discovered by competitors. To the extent that our consultants, contractors, or collaborators use intellectual property owned by others in their work for us, disputes may arise as to the rights in related or resulting know-how and inventions.

Market, Customers and Distribution Methods

Our focus is on the development of innovative diagnostic and pharmaceutical products focusing on diseases and conditions for which currently there are no known efficient therapeutic ingredients or delivery systems. We plan to be an active player in this field of biosciences with our extensive R&D and pipeline of innovative products.

In August, we signed an exclusive licensing, manufacturing, and distribution agreement with Empowered Diagnostics LLC to execute the high-volume production of our rapid point-of-care diagnostic test. AXIM and Empowered have completed the technology transfer and Empowered Diagnostics have built out their production facility to be able to manufacture millions of our neutralizing antibody tests for Covid-19 per month.

Competition

The biotech industries are characterized by rapidly advancing technologies, intense competition, a strong emphasis on proprietary products and intellectual property. While we believe that our scientific knowledge, technology, and development experience provide us with competitive advantages, we face potential competition from many different sources, including major pharmaceutical, specialty pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies, academic institutions, governmental agencies and public and private research institutions, some or all of which may have greater access to capital or resources than we do. For any products that we may ultimately commercialize, not only will we compete with any existing diagnostic tests and therapies and those products currently in development, but we will also have to compete with new technologies that may become available in the future.

We expect that the market will become increasingly competitive in the future. Many of our competitors, either alone or together with their collaborative partners, operate much larger research and development programs, and have substantially greater commercial and financial resources than we do, as well as significantly greater experience in: developing product candidates and technologies, undertaking preclinical studies and clinical trials, obtaining FDA and other regulatory approvals of product candidates, formulating and manufacturing diagnostic products and drug candidates and launching, marketing and selling these candidates. As a result, these companies may obtain marketing approval more rapidly than we are able and may be more effective in developing, selling, and marketing their products.

Source and Availability of Raw Materials

As our scientific team was developing our COVID-19 rapid diagnostic tests and virus-capturing face mask, we were frustrated by the delays and costs caused by lack of supply of a recombinant virus binding protein (VBP) for SARS-CoV-2 that was essential to our testing. To continue our projects as planned and decrease overall costs, AXIM’s team decided to make its own VBP. This now in-house development of the core ingredients needed to manufacture our products allows us to control our supply chain.

Government Regulation

On July 15, 2020, we announced the submission of an Emergency Use Authorization (“EUA”) to the FDA for our rapid diagnostic test kit for the independent detection of neutralizing antibodies in sera of patients who had been exposed to the SARS-CoV-2 virus.

On August 5, 2020, announced the development, patent filing and Emergency Use Approval (EUA) filing of NeuCovix-HT™, a high throughput (HT) patent-pending diagnostic test that measures levels of functional antibodies in plasma or serum that neutralize SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19. Unlike current serology tests for COVID-19 that qualitatively detect antibodies to the virus, NeuCovix-HT™ quantitatively measures functional antibodies that block binding of the virus to host cell receptors.

An EUA would allow us to market and sell the test without the need to pursue the lengthy and expensive drug approval process. The FDA may issue an EUA during a public health emergency if it determines that the potential benefits of a product outweigh the potential risks and if other regulatory criteria are met. If an EUA is granted for the test, we will rely on the FDA policies and guidance in connection with the marketing and sale of the test. If these policies and guidance change unexpectedly and/or materially or if we misinterpret them, potential sales of the test could be adversely impacted. In addition, the FDA may revoke an EUA where it is determined that the underlying health emergency no longer exists or warrants such authorization. If granted, we cannot predict how long an EUA for the test will remain in place. The termination of an EUA for the test, if granted, could adversely impact our business, financial condition, and results of operations.

We may also seek additional EUAs from the FDA for our other product candidates for the detection and/or treatment of COVID-19 and the SARS-CoV-2 virus. If granted, the additional EUAs would allow us to market and sell additional product candidates without the need to pursue the lengthy and expensive drug approval process. There is no guarantee that we will be able to obtain any additional EUAs. Failure to obtain additional EUAs or the termination of such EUAs, if obtained, could adversely impact our business, financial condition, and results of operations.

Employees

As of August 22, 2021, we have 4 full-time employees and 1 part-time employee. We allow and utilize the services of independent contractors. We will be considering the conversion of some of our part-time employees to full-time positions. We are currently in discussions with qualified individuals to engage them for positions in sales and marketing, research and development, and operations. Management believes the Company has good relationships with its employees.

Costs and effects of compliance with environmental laws

The expense of complying with environmental regulations is of minimal consequence.
